Abstract: In the last few decades, diabetes has become a global health concern, due to its increasing prevalence in developed and developing countries. The most common form of diabetes is type 2 diabetes (T2D), characterized by an impairment of insulin in activating glucose transport system into the cells and an inappropriate hyper-insulinemia due to insulin resistance. The maintenance of normal blood glucose levels is one of the major goals in diabetes management and could be achieved by reducing the glycemic index (GI) of foods. The brown seaweed Ascophyllum nodosum is an easily available food traditionally used by coastal communities.
